FOR OCCTIS FANS--

Alex: "'What's one detail you think would be particularly cool/important for Occtis cosplayers to know about?'...Okay so um, the thing I love about Occtis' outfit, and one of the things that I describe, is that...I described to the artist--I wanted to get the point across as to how I wanted Occtis' outfit to look, and this I think for cosplayers, would be a good thing to keep I mind--is that...The thing I described about Occtis, is that he looks like...the concept artist from Castlevania designed Ichabod Crane from the 1999 Sleepy Hollow movie. So...keep that in mind, when doing--making any decisions--about your Occtis cosplay."

oh my god I love this, thank you for the amazing image Alex--

And something like, correcting someone’s pronunciation—was an accident. I just noticed it in the beginning of our playing, people were pronouncing it differently. And to me, one of my philosophies of this thing that we do is that…there’s no such things as mistakes, ever.

Anything that happens, something like that can be folded into a discovery about the story, a discovery about a relationship or a character, and I just, in that moment, absorbed that and I thought…You know what? I love this, I’m not gonna correct this in any way, because I don’t think he would.

He wouldn’t correct anybody. And who knows how many other ways his name has been mispronounced. And…maybe he knows exactly how his parents and grandparents would pronounce his name—it hasn’t come up. Maybe he doesn’t, maybe that’s been eroding.
